The focus of the event will be on artworks that are always extremely public, but are almost never viewed in public. Works that are released in private, mostly in the middle of the night, and are made public with a very simple but very private interfacial gesture. Lets make this interfacial gesture public, lets view these works in public, lets release these works in public, “PUBLICINTERFACIALGESTURESALON”

There will be a computer for you to ftp your work to your server (bring a usb stick with the index page, and your passwords). After the ritual interfacial gesture of releasing the work (which will be seen by the audience), you will show the work and how it functions, perhaps with a Q&A, if you don’t mind. It will be informal, but still serious enough to contextualize the work, to be open for questions, to engage in conversation. There will be a live stream on ustream available to others that could not make it to Vienna, with live chat.

Second event:Chris CollinsJodiRafael Rozendaal We will present half an hour of public Google document drawing, where they will communally draw inside a shared Google document. This process will be viewed live, and during this process the audience can yell that they want to buy the current status of the drawing. An assistant will quickly make a pdf of the drawing which will be printed on a photo quality a4 immediately , and will sell for € 10. At the end of the evening a group picture will be taken, and will be sent together with the url’s of the premiered pieces to a list of weblogs, and audience members that filled out their email addresses on a list near the entrance. This event has been made possible with the gracious help of Transforming Freedom, and WORM. Video documentation by tagr.tv.

(NL 1979, Rietveld Academie Amsterdam, Rijksakademie Amsterdam) Trained as a video artist, his work has recently focussed on the Internet and re-contextualizing found material. Working as a so called ‘internet aware’, or ‘post internet’ artist, his work shows the changing vernacular of the contemporary computer user, and how global corporations (google, adobe, apple) control that new language.

In networked performances, curated salon evenings, photographic prints, youtube videos, domain name works, blogposts, lectures, Dullaart finds a way to emphasize the value of changing international dominant (image) dialects. His works are widely seen and discussed online on blogs such asvvork.com, rhizome.org, artinamerica.com, todayandtomorrow.net, trendbeheer.com, etcetera, and his recently featured in the MetropolisM. Dullaart taught at the Rietveld academie, and (co)curated several events in Amsterdam, Berlin and New York, such as the periodically held Lost and Found evenings (with his final event in the New Museum), the Cyclus DVD for PARK4DTV / Mr Motley, “Contemporary Semantics Beta” in Arti et Amicitiae, and recently the exhibition “Versions” in NIMK. His work is shown internationally in places as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Art in General and MWNM gallery in New York,ICA London, NIMK, de Appel, W139, the Stedelijk Museum, Ellen de Bruijne projects, and Gallery West. Dullaart lives / works in Berlin and Amsterdam. Currently, Constant Dullaart is a resident of the MuseumsQuartier in Vienna.
